Teleportation vs Mind reading(can turn off)

Which is better for a normal person?

I would choose teleportation as I would be able to visit more countries and learn about them. Mind reading is tempting because I can learn all the secrets the world has to offer, but I could maybe know some of them via teleportation to places with secret documents not accessible otherwise. also i get to go to the moon(with preparation) if i have teleportation

Teleportation. No debate.

Mind reading is too much of a hassle for your mental peace. As they say, ignorance is bliss.

#8

NEITHER. teleportation would completely disintegrate your entire body and rebuild it at the place you teleport too making you not the same human and just a shell of what you were before. every time you teleport you die. also mind reading would suck if there was no way to turn it off.

#21
mondely

Frags

Technically you aren’t the same human every second you’re alive. your atoms constantly get replaced and eventually most of your original atoms are replaced. I personally believe in “my memories define who i am” rather than some atoms, so I wouldn’t care if a clone took my place when I died.

Also you can turn off mind reading btw

#28

i would take teleportation if my own consciousness takes the place of the yoru clone

consciousness could be fake for all we know. Tbh not much seperates you and a clone of you. Every atom is identical anyways

honestly the mystery of not knowing whats on the other side is what kept me from committing every time but 1 (looking back that would have never worked im just a dumbass) maybe i should keep being scared

#53

Frags

don’t commit bro :/ Its just best to live life the way you want to and enjoy the moment. instead of thinking about death as something scary, think of it as neutral(no pain no happiness) and think of your life as a lucky dice roll that allows you to be happy rather than just neutral for awhile.

my idea is that conciousness is js the brain
if the brain exists, it can think; and you are your brain
so why would it being a different spot not be you
why would it be any different from going to sleep

#51

yeh thats what i think too. we only feel like we are the whole human because we get constant input from every part of the body. in reality, we are just the brain

why teleportation over mind reading? i feel like the hassle of trying to not get caught with it outweighs any potential benefits

Mind reading. Teleportation is better overall, but it would be almost impossible to use it without other people knowing and there would be risks like imagine teleporting and there's just car about to drive over it etc. Also like I said if people knew you had this power it would become impossible to live normal life and governments would do their best to catch you. Mind reading is more boring and I likely wouldn't use it often, but you wouldn't get caught by it. But if we ignore all that and superpowers were normal then teleportation would be much better.

teleportation is literally a cheat code for everyday life

Imagine not needing to go through a 2 hour hassel back and forth to get to and from work everyday

oh I want to cook? I'll teleport to the grocery store for ingredients

I don't give a shit about whats going on in other peoples minds

#105

cameras exist bro. the whole world will be out to get u

#106

Frags

why would they?

We are assuming that everything about my teleportation is common knowledge, so there is literally no reason for people to seek me

If common people are out to get me theres nothing they could do (I just teleport away)

The government would never need to be compelled to see me

#108

they would be catching u bro, why would they not?

You think big governments like US, China etc. wouldn't want to put you in controller environment and study you so they could gain your ability? Or they wouldn't straight on want to use you as their pawn? If someone had actual superpowers they would be top priority for powerful agencies. They would track you and your family for rest of your life, likely even threaten and eventually catch you. You would become living weapon pretty much and that alone could be used as reasoning for your capture.

  1. They already know everything about my teleportation so they wouldn’t put my in a controller
    environment
  2. Being drafted into a war is literally being used as a pawn so it’s literally just the same “risk your life for your country” thing
  3. Why would they target my family if I’m fully compliant?
